Design is a beautiful process, and it would'nt be justified if i did not mention one of my passions, "The Need For Speed"!
Porsche Unveils Plug-in Hybrid Panamera Sport Turismo at the Paris Motor Show, which is underway. This is a sleek concept the automaker says "unites the next generation hybrid drive with new ideas for an evolutionary, sporty body concept."
Talk about green vehicle monster under the hood, the
Panamera Sport Turismo has 306 kW of peak system power that can be driven in 100% electric mode for 30 km at speeds of up to 130 KPH. This means that short trips can be done without burning any gasoline. I am personally impressed with much consideration has been given for carbon footprint with a good fuel economy based upon the NEDC standard as noted in its technical specs, with a combined fuel consumption of less than 3.5 liters per 100 km and CO2 emissions under 82 g/km.
The electric motor produces around 70 kW, which is almost double that of the current in production offering, and is mated to a three-liter, V6 supercharged engine that produces 245 kW (whoever thought that going green could be so powerful).
Acceleration of the Sport Turismo hybrid concept from 0 to 100 kilometres per hour is a zippy under six seconds. Its lithium-ion battery pack, which can be externally charged within 2.5 hours depending upon the power supply, can also be internally refueled via a special e-charge mode that makes use of the internal combustion engine by load point shifting.
Turning to the interior of this technologically loaded down plug-in hybrid, the vehicle sports a large central TFT color display instead of a classic instrument display. It can call up a wide array of information, such as the tachometer or navigation. It is supplemented by two monitors, one on each side, that show images from exterior mirror cameras.
I am also one with a need for speed, I love the featurres of the Porsche, way to go!
